Graph Coloring

/**
 * @file
 * @brief prints the assigned colors
 * using [Graph Coloring](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_coloring)
 * algorithm
 *
 * @details
 * In graph theory, graph coloring is a special case of graph labeling;
 * it is an assignment of labels traditionally called "colors" to elements of a
 * graph subject to certain constraints. In its simplest form, it is a way of
 * coloring the vertices of a graph such that no two adjacent vertices are of
 * the same color; this is called a vertex coloring. Similarly, an edge coloring
 * assigns a color to each edge so that no two adjacent edges are of the same
 * color, and a face coloring of a planar graph assigns a color to each face or
 * region so that no two faces that share a boundary have the same color.
